Chapter 755 The Dragon Bone to Bring Her Back to Life
Lifting the corners of his pale lips to show a determined smile, Long Tianyu wielded his sword to stab himself in the chest without the slightest hesitation.
“No!” There came a voice.
At the critical moment, a stone cut through the air and knocked off the sharp blade that was about to pierce through his chest.
In the twinkling of an eye, a figure leaped over and grabbed the sword from Long Tianyu.
“Do you think that you can bring my sister back to life by committing suicide? Sober up!” Lin Zhongyu held Long Tianyu’s hand tightly and said.
Fortunately, he noticed that something was wrong and followed Long Tianyu to check on the situation.
If Long Tianyu really died, Lin Mengya would probably go crazy after waking up.
“She’s dead. Let go of me!” Long Tianyu groaned in a low voice like a wounded beast.
The blood that was still wet at the corners of his mouth made him look terrifyingly pale and haggard.
Lin Zhongyu exerted himself to clench Long Tianyu’s hand and seemed to be hesitant with a sparkle in his eyes. However, at the sight of the despair in Long Tianyu’s eyes, he involuntarily said, “My sister is not past hope. Look at her, she does not look like a dead person at all. I have a way to save her!”
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was prescient enough to leave him instructions for dealing with this, otherwise, today’s situation would get out of control.
Hearing that there was a way to save Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu immediately stopped struggling desperately.
He grabbed a corner of Lin Zhongyu’s clothes and seemed to show a desire to continue his life in his lifeless eyes in an instant.
“What did you say? How can we save her? Tell me!” He asked.
Lin Zhongyu struggled to loosen Long Tianyu’s grip on his clothes. After making sure that Long Tianyu had given up committing suicide, he put the long sword back in Long Tianyu’s hand.
Then Lin Zhongyu said, “I heard that there is a treasure, which can bring the dead back to life, in the hands of the Candle Dragon Cult. In fact, my sister is in poor condition now. You’d better put her back in the pool where her body can be kept properly. I will tell you about other things slowly. But remember one thing: if you die, my sister will really be past hope.”
It was only now that Lin Zhongyu realized that his sister had really arranged everything properly.
The poison she gave him presumably could make people unable to exert strength, but its effect did not show.
In this way, Long Tianyu naturally considered those people not skilled enough in martial arts and would not be suspicious.
Besides, the information left by his sister could give Long Tianyu hope and a motivation to continue living.
As for whether he could cheer Long Tianyu up, it depended on how he explained to Long Tianyu.
Long Tianyu, who seemed to have found the meaning of continuing his life, held Lin Mengya in his arms and gently kissed her forehead and eyes despite his reluctance to part with her.
If Xiaoyu was telling the truth, he would be able to meet her again in the future.
He cautiously put her back in the pool. Watching her sleeping peacefully at the bottom of the pool, Long Tianyu did not believe that she would leave him like this.
“This is not a good place to talk. If you keep staying here, the residual poison will kill you.” Lin Zhongyu composedly urged Long Tianyu to leave.
Long Tianyu, whose lips were a little livid at this moment, presumably could not take this much longer.
After taking another deep look at Lin Mengya, who was sleeping at the bottom of the pool, Long Tianyu picked up his long sword and walked out through the tunnel with Lin Zhongyu.
In the cave, Long Tianyu was by the crackling fire like a wooden stake, numb to cold. Grabbing his long sword, he fixed his eyes on the young man who looked helpless in front of him, and asked, “How exactly can we save her?”
The woman he loved was lying unconscious at the bottom of the pool at the moment.
Long Tianyu had lost all interest in life, and his desire to live had fallen into a deep sleep with her.
If she couldn’t wake up, he could only live like a walking corpse for the rest of his life.
“Calm down. I heard that the reason for the Candle Dragon Cult’s current steady growth is that its primary head had an extremely magical dragon bone said to be capable of regenerating tissue and bringing the dead back to life. In fact, I infiltrated the Candle Dragon Cult for it. I think my sister fell into a coma because she’s seriously poisoned. If we get the dragon bone, maybe we can save her,” Lin Zhongyu said with shimmering eyes.
In fact, Lin Mengya told him another excuse.
Nevertheless, he had been pursuing the dragon bone all this time.
The dragon bone’s function of “bringing the dead back to life” was just made up by him. Moreover, his sister was not dead, so she could “come back to life” no matter the dragon bone worked or not.
“Dragon bone? We can save her with this?” Long Tianyu asked, anxious to get a definite answer.
Seeing Xiaoyu nod, he finally felt a little warmth.
Fortunately, as long as she could come back to life, he would be glad even if he had to sacrifice his life, not to mention get the dragon bone from the Candle Dragon Cult.
Long Tianyu lifted his long sword and was about to walk out of the cave.
However, Xiaoyu dragged him back with a disapproving look and pressed him down in front of the fire.
“If you go on like this, you’ll die before getting the dragon bone for my sister. Long Tianyu, I’m in the same mood as you. If we want to bring my sister back, we should take care of ourselves. Do you want her to sleep here forever?” Xiaoyu growled to bring Long Tianyu back to reality.
That was right. Lin Mengya, whose life was uncertain at the moment, could only rely on him.
He forced himself to sit in front of the fire, suppressing the impulse to immediately go to the Candle Dragon Cult to get the dragon bone for her.
Xiaoyu was right. He must calm down and make a deliberate plan. Only in this way could he bring Lin Mengya back.
“Hey, have you calmed down yet?” Lin Zhongyu, who squatted down cautiously beside Long Tianhyu with his heart in his mouth, asked.
He was afraid that Long Tianyu would act rashly again, as he was much less skilled than Long Tianyu in martial arts.
If Long Tianyu insisted on acting rashly, he would have to knock Long Tianyu out with poison.
However, he, who was holding the poison nervously, saw Long Tianyu pick up a piece of dry firewood beside him and add it to the fire, before he used it.
Lin Zhongyu was stunned. “Does Long Tianyu calm down now?”
“You haven’t told me where the dragon bone is,” Long Tianyu said.
At this moment, he seemed to have regained his usual calmness and wisdom.
The madness and pain in his deep eyes had been replaced by a cold and lifeless look.
Lin Zhongyu found Long Tianyu, who showed such a look, seemed to be very familiar and strange at the same time.
He sighed to himself. Perhaps he would not be able to see Long Tianyu, who looked indifferent but was gentle to Lin Mengya, get back to what he had been until things were settled and Lin Mengya was willing to show up in front of Long Tianyu.
“It’s at the headquarters of the Candle Dragon Cult. I spent some time looking for it, but in vain. The headquarters of the Candle Dragon Cult is very mysterious. If you don’t want to seek death, you should stay calm,” Lin Zhongyu said.
Long Tianyu fell silent for a moment, staring thoughtfully at the flickering fire with a cold look on his handsome face.
The silent atmosphere in the cave was a little tense. Lin Zhongyu leaned against the mountain wall and kept sneaking glances at Long Tianyu.
“If we leave her body here, will her body be kept properly?” After a long while, Long Tianyu, who seemed to have been convinced, finally got up, adjusted his clothes, and asked calmly.
“Yes. That pool is amazing. It’s very good for her health. If you can’t set your mind at ease, you can send your men to guard her at the foot of the mountain,” Lin Zhongyu said.
Long Tianyu nodded and walked out of the cave without stopping.
Meanwhile, he said, “She will be glad to see you after waking up. She misses you very much. I will get the dragon bone for you. When the time comes, we can save her together.”
Lin Zhongyu trembled, wondering if he had exposed any flaw or Long Tianyu was terrifyingly intelligent after regaining his composure.
Despite knowing that Long Tianyu would not be able to see it, he still nodded.
The pure white snow was dazzling outside. Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes and put away his long sword.
His only beloved woman was now sleeping soundly in this cave. Although it was covered with snow, he kept it, where he stored all his tenderness in this life, at the bottom of his heart.
He had no idea how long he would be able to hold on for. Although he seemed to have returned to what he had been, only he was keenly aware he felt such great grief that he seemed to be about to go mad.
Nevertheless, he could neither die nor vent his grief recklessly, because he must save her.
When he got out of the cave, Qinghu and the others, who had heard his footsteps, were waiting outside.
Long Tianyu glanced at them lightly and said in a low voice, “All of you, go to the foot of the mountain immediately and stay there. From today on, no one is allowed to climb the Qijue Peak.”
There seemed to be murderous intent in his cold tone.
Even Qinghu couldn’t help nodding reluctantly under such pressure.
Long Tianyu’s dark eyes, full of ruthlessness and coldness, were even more oppressing and colder than the Qijue Peak.
“Did anything happen to her?” Qinghu asked.
Others might be unaware of it, but Qinghu could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with him.
With a severe look, Long Tianyu nodded and turned to look at Lin Zhongyu who had just poked his head out of the cave.
“Xiaoyu! Why are you here? Where’s she? How is she?” As Qinghu asked, he strode forward and grabbed hold of Lin Zhongyu, who tried to dodge him.
In desperation, Xiaoyu put on a grieved look again and repeated the excuse he made up.
“Gosh! Dragon bone!” Qinghu exclaimed.
Qinghu, who had been a core member of the Candle Dragon Cult, knew better than Long Tianyu how rare the dragon bone was and how difficult it was to get it.
However, since it was the essential to saving Lin Mengya, he would get it for her even if he had to sacrifice everything he had!
